Hi,

I do not have the answer to your question, but from what you are trying to you acheive, i think it would be better to create a calculated column. and utilizing related function, use the disposal costs whereever required.

Hi,

 

Assuming that you want to match the selected value from the Material Type slicer to Glass or Cardboard, you can use the below mentioned formula for your measure. 

 

Disposal Costs = if(OR(SELECTEDVALUE(MaterialTypes[Material Type],"") = "Glass",SELECTEDVALUE(MaterialTypes[Material Type],"") = "Cardboard"),0,DIVIDE(125, 1000))
 
Hope this helps !!
 
Thanks
